I think this is great news, he has probably been our best player since he has come in and doesn't seem to have a weakness in his game. I admit that this is only against Champioship opposition but I think he can easily step up to Super League if we get there. He reminds me quite a bit of Jai Whitbread.

Yep.
Big fan of Jai, but I think that Ky is better.

Agree, Jai was anonymous most of this first half season then came good back end for a string of games.


Season after injured a lot and didn’t break many pots.

Whitbread is a good forward but Rodwell looks early signs a different class (albeit against Championship opposition but that’s unavoidable).

I'm a big fan of Whitbread but he's a very different player to Rodwell.

Agreed Rodwell is a middle and Whitbread is more a prop.

I think Whitbread has kicked on since he left us and added some impact to his game maybe being in a better environment at KR than he was at Trinity.

I’m expecting a lot of the new lads to kick on next year in SL as they are in the main new to a full time environment coming to the club from part time. They will have had a year to develop in that full time environment and it is one that is superior to what we had under Carters time at the club.

Never mind Whitbread, how good has Tangianoa been at KR, the bloke has been devastating in a number of games.

He has managed to go injury free though unlike with us last season

My opinion is he is a liability in defence and drops too much ball I never really rated him

I think they both have benefitted from the fact that the current KR squad is somewhat of an upgrade on what they had last season.

Yes I agree, last time I saw him play he made three handling errors and all pretty basic.

I won't say I don't rate him. He's just a luxury player. His ball running is excellent and his defence is very strong if they run at him.
He isn't good positionally or with his ball handling.

Rovers can carry him for his positives. We can't.

He's devastating with ball in hand.
